Redemption arcs rarely last this long, but No Man\u2019s Sky (2016)\u00a0<\/em>hasn\u2019t given up on going above and beyond with its latest update, which finally fixes the visuals on PSVR 2.<\/p>\n

The game\u2019s initial release on PSVR earlier this year 2 wasn\u2019t great, with users noting that visual quality simply wasn\u2019t up to snuff. Players and reviewers alike decried the much beloved game\u2019s blurriness on PSVR 2, which became an unfortunate fixture since the February 2023 update.<\/p>\n

Now Hello Games has released its Echoes 4.4 patch<\/a> which has completely overhauled visuals on PSVR 2 thanks to the inclusion of foveated rendering, an eye-tracking-driven rendering technique that only displays the area in the center of your eye\u2019s gaze at max quality. Your peripheral vision isn\u2019t that great at seeing detail anyway, so why waste precious resources to render where it matters the least? That\u2019s foveated rendering in a nutshell; learn more about how eye-tracking goes way beyond foveated rendering here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Echoes also brings a new race to the game, the Autophage, a long-hidden civilization of robotic beings. You\u2019ll also encounter Pirate Dreadnoughts, which cruise between the stars and terrorise merchant fleets, and some more detailed ship controls that let you divert power to boost shields, move faster, or increase your firepower. Hell, there\u2019s even a trench run in\u00a0Dreadnoughts, which\u2014terrible ship design flaw notwithstanding\u2014sounds like a blast.<\/p>\n
